The story

"We are Brisbane's Closest Balloon Company. Just 30 minutes drive west of Brisbane's CBD." "Each morning owner and Chief Pilot Graeme shares the magic of flying and his intimate local knowledge of the Greater Brisbane region from the air. Launching just one flight per day with 4-10 passengers, Floating Images offers a boutique and personalised balloon experience." The company has flown "in this carefully selected flying region west of Brisbane since 2001", with Chief Pilot Graeme Day holding over 34 years of experience. "Your journey begins at the Ipswich Visitor Information Centre, a central and easy-to-find meeting point. From there, you travel with us to the day's launch site, where the balloon slowly comes to life in the soft light of sunrise. … you drift gently over Ipswich, Scenic Rim, and Somerset countryside—quiet suburban pockets, winding rivers, farmland, rural townships, and distant mountain ranges unfolding beneath you in the morning light." Floating Images operates under Air Operator Certificate Number SQ578387 issued by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
